Introduction

This is a step by step guide showing how to replace the screen on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 tablet.

Remove all external power and turn off the tablet.
Insert a plastic opening tool between the screen and rear casing.
Pry the screen and rear casing apart.

Step 2

Remove the three green pieces of tape covering the white, black, and gold ribbon cables.
Use a spudger to flip up the retaining flap on the three ribbon cable ZIF sockets.
Pull the ribbon cables out of the sockets.

So the three ribbon cable ZIF sockets battery one broke off where can I buy and what's the proper way to call it any help would be greatly appreciated
